Sunny shines for St Anthony

MARGAO: Sunny Fernandes scored the lone goal in the second half to guide St Anthony’s Sports Club, Assolda to a 1-0 victory over United Boys of Dando, Colva and storm into the final of All-Goa Bebe Costa memorial Super Soccer tournament organized by United Club of Benaulim, at St John the Baptist ground, Dando-Benaulim, on Tuesday.

There was no score at the lemon break.
St Anthony played a fine tactical game and outplayed the Dando lads. Their attacking and midfield combination of Jaison Dias, Socorro Fernandes and Stanley threatened the rival goal with well orchestrated raids but to no avail.
Post resumption, St Anthony enjoyed total domination and enjoyed the lion’s share of ball possession. Jaison Dias was the fulcrum in his teams attacks and trouble the rival goalkeeper with power-packed shots. They finally broke the deadlock after Jason found winger Sunny Fernandes, who fired a rasping volley which left the rival keeper Joao Falcao stunned. 
The goal seemed to rattle the resolve of United Boys of Dando who became a scattered lot after conceding.
